introductions and pleasantries

this blog is going to be about me and alex and our food adventures around the chicagoland area. i know chicago doesn’t seem like a gastronomic capital of the world (except, did you know that the hamburger was first introduced to the US by chicago at the world’s columbian exposition of 1893?! so you have us to thank for your big macs!). i mean, really, we’re known for deep dish pizza and hot dogs. hardly culinary masterpieces.

but we’re convinced that chicago has many food adventures we have yet to discover and we’re going to share them with the blogosphere! oh, and we’ll also be sharing a bit of our own cooking trials and errors, bc im sure they’ll be entertaining, being cooking noobz ourselves.
